cole is way more than just an artist. a great one too. But he opens up minds and makes u think. he's a preacher that isn't afraid to uplift his people and not be afraid of the out come. cole reminds me of Pac. just to real and down to earth. it's rare to find folks like him or Kendrick Lamar. much love and respect. cole world.
he's just being his self which is the best thing a man can ever do most of these celebrity whenever the come on tv or and interview they act as someone they're not
when he said "at what point" i automatically thought, "at what point do you start seing bread, been out hustlin for years, shoebox right under my bed" truly yours. COLE WORLD
Just In Case Ya Didn't Kno, He Has A College Degree From St. Peter's Univ, & Also Graduated Magna Cum Laude Which Means He Graduated With Honors, Far From Ignorant Or Unintelligent...Juss Saying.
the way this system really works, how this politics really works, despite your good intentions - its not so easy top bring the good you wanted to - you have to shake this hand over here, you gotta do things which don't serve your people the best but keep you in power.
amazing metaphors, every rapper goes through this mindset, so easy to give in to the mainstream music and choose not to make music with substance in it in order to make big money. make your money cole, but dont completely give in to the dark side!
The way he articulates himself very well in this speech really shows his college education. Which is why I believe his lyrics are more complex than the new rappers today.
he's more saying how as you grow other things become important too. but you have to figure out a way to maintain a balance with the new and old motives. thats the entire context of the story he's telling. you cant focus on a few sentences and say that's what the whole story was about.
Nope, it was proven with GKMC that people will buy good music and want it. The gates have been open and now everyone sees they are free to make real music. He will blow up.
Lil B has given lectures at NYU, and Bun B taught an entire religious Studies class at Rice called "religion and hip-hop culture". The producer 9th wonder taught a class at Duke. Swizz Beats has taught classes at NYU. Both Members of Dead Prez co-taught a class at Haverford College. Is that enough for you? or do I need to mention that GZA from Wu-Tang Clan started an entire hip-hop centered study-abroad program at Oxford?
J.Coles that dude he's a REAL artist trying to remain REAL to his self as well as his fans he's just trying to get people to understand artist lose themselves in the mist of trying to meet everyone's approval and for the millions of dollars
What will be your legacy? If you pass away can you take anything in this world with you? Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and let The LOVE of our Father shine on and in you.” Be very careful, then, how you live -not as unwise but as wise, although I can relate because I was born in sin, darkness and lived as a sinner without knowledge. Finally I grew up and was reborn by renewing my mind and actions. I was one of the richest ppl in the world($, girls, cars) but still I was unhappy, why?
he looks really nervous. that's understandable cause people forget celebrities are people too, and he's in front of smart Harvard kids that's a lot of pressure.
I Agree But Just Bcuz Its Pop or Commercial Doesn't Mean It Won't Be Good Music But You Kno All The Fair Whether Fans Will Critic Him And Call Him A Sellout If He Changes His Style.
His songs have a message if you break each verse, hook, bar every artist does but you have to break the lyrics down and pay attention to the moral of the story wake up plp
Have you ever listened to any of his music. His music is really different to most of the rap out their. There is actually some content and substance to his music.
No. Obviously, he just did not feel it was necessary. Why change the way he talks for a different audience? If they can't accept him for who he is..then he is not the problem, they are. & obviously the way he was talking was not a problem to them!
she said "don't leak it" but j.cole did it himself @ bornsinner[.]com even though i refuse to listen to it i want to be suprised when I buy it on release day
J.Cole is such a chill guy and down to earth, I hope he doesn't change that part of him.
He didn't. Greetings from 2019
He didn't. Greetings from 2021

J. Cole one of the realest in the rap game he one of the ones that makes music from the heart respect to this man

"you see, i can but i wont, cuz im sayin what i wont, plus the slang that i speak dont change that im deep"

Cole broke that down so vividly..
Aww he's so nervous. I love Jcole though!
im mad at his kirk franklin jacket he got on... but other then that... im in love
Yoo the off season tour had started !!
I’m just now seeing this but Cole growth is amazing
the way this system really works, how this politics really works, despite your good intentions - its not so easy top bring the good you wanted to - you have to shake this hand over here,
you gotta do things which don't serve your people the best but keep you in power.
yes Mr. Cole stay on the path bro...
amazing metaphors, every rapper goes through this mindset, so easy to give in to the mainstream music and choose not to make music with substance in it in order to make big money. make your money cole, but dont completely give in to the dark side!
i want Cole to be my mentor mannn!
At the end "Don't leak it" lol
Aww.. He looks so nervous
This album is the start of the history
One thing I can say about his flows real nigga 101 exactly y he's my favorite rapper
I LOVE J COLE!!!
you see a man succeed and everyone hates. j cole is one of the best put together rappers of our era.
I love this guy!
Gotta love him..
The way he articulates himself very well in this speech really shows his college education. Which is why I believe his lyrics are more complex than the new rappers today.
J Cole! Yeah!
he's more saying how as you grow other things become important too. but you have to figure out a way to maintain a balance with the new and old motives. thats the entire context of the story he's telling. you cant focus on a few sentences and say that's what the whole story was about.
He's one of the very few who is actually a star that graduated from college, let alone High School.
I LOVE this MAN!
I like how he doesn't have to alter his way of talking to cater to the audience at Harvard!
*Listen to the work of my brother FEELFOUND, he really needs support, he is trying. 💯*
Nigga got a blazer on lmao
Nope, it was proven with GKMC that people will buy good music and want it. The gates have been open and now everyone sees they are free to make real music. He will blow up.
Can confirm 11 years later, he sure did.
Cole is the man !

Is that enough for you? or do I need to mention that GZA from Wu-Tang Clan started an entire hip-hop centered study-abroad program at Oxford?
She actually says "Don't leak it"
J.Coles that dude he's a REAL artist trying to remain REAL to his self as well as his fans he's just trying to get people to understand artist lose themselves in the mist of trying to meet everyone's approval and for the millions of dollars

If J.cole never did music , he would make a grate Proffessor
I Can Assume Whatever I Want, Especially When It's Truth.
Don't You Tell Me What To Assume.
he looks really nervous. that's understandable cause people forget celebrities are people too, and he's in front of smart Harvard kids that's a lot of pressure.
i like his hair long like that
I Agree But Just Bcuz Its Pop or Commercial Doesn't Mean It Won't Be Good Music But You Kno All The Fair Whether Fans Will Critic Him And Call Him A Sellout If He Changes His Style.
Born Sinner!
His songs have a message if you break each verse, hook, bar every artist does but you have to break the lyrics down and pay attention to the moral of the story wake up plp
I'm glad hes so nervous because hes actually not gonna make stuff up..
Have you ever listened to any of his music. His music is really different to most of the rap out their. There is actually some content and substance to his music.
How do you get "that wont make it." to "don't leak it."?
How am I just seeing this
Whats the series he mentioned at 5:00?
No. Obviously, he just did not feel it was necessary. Why change the way he talks for a different audience? If they can't accept him for who he is..then he is not the problem, they are. & obviously the way he was talking was not a problem to them!
We are all born sinners
